Abstract
This invention pertains to an instrument, and methods of use, for collecting and mathematically manipulating physical property data relating to a material such as a felt for a papermaking machine. An indeterminate number of data values are collected, and a determinate number of data points are calculated therefrom. The data points, representing physical properties of the material, are correlated to specific loci on the material, thus identifying specific data points with specific loci on the material or web. The methods are useful for determining, for example, moisture content of a pepermaking felt at specific locations on the felt.
